Our goal is to provide support to those affected by RSD/CRPS in a positive, healthy environment. Our platform is one of a positive outlook being one of the best treatments available. With humor and open communication it's amazing what we can do.  We are not disabled. There are things we are able to do, have time to do now that we've never been able to before. A whole new appreciation.  

It is with deep regret that I tell you we will be dissolving the MN RSD Coalition. I started this organization with a support group in Prior Lake and never dreamt it would grow to where it is now. It's been just over 8 years and I am tired. The website is so expensive and I can no longer afford to pay for it. The demands are too much at times to continue with everything.
 
For now I will start proceedings to dissolve the 501c3 nonprofit end of the group. After that you will see various areas stopping.
 
For the past few years I have asked for help with certain areas and have received many responses. To all those that have helped and continue to work so hard....thank you.  There just are not enough people to help out or donations to keep things going.  Too many people offer and are not able to follow through. We understand this as their health must come first.
 
For the immediate future we will continue with certain things...
 
The support groups will continue (for now) with various members facilitating.
 
The picnic will go on as planned for 2009 only. Of course this will depend 100% on people volunteering to help with the picnic.

 I care about all of you and want to continue a friendship/relationship with each of you, just not via the nonprofit organization.
 
The website will continue (for now, although there will be limited updates) PROVIDING we receive donations to cover the costs involved ($113.88 every 3 months). 
 
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.
 
Thank you again to everyone.  If anyone is interested in assisting with the areas still active (for now), please contact me at rsdsmn@aol.com.

 
Thank you,
Bonnie Scherer
